I got mine from maplins (was in a kit and does the lot rj45 rj11 and bnc) and the did have them on offer again last week when i went in.

with printers we have great fun as teachers at our school do the same but they come in already logged in plug in the network cable and wonder why they cant print. I have told them if they do this they will ned to do a network Sync befor they can print but some of them still wont have it.

ok i going for the big sell here 1 ict tech good condition wants a good home with all the comferts with endless pot of money and left to do what he wishes works well underpressure but expencive to run. lol. I home this is not the start of a bad thing. one of the fourms i used to visit sales pusshers started posting but it became uncontrolable as the kept creating new usernames. posting there sale and then creating new one. In the end the fourm got locked and to join needed to have proof of what you did got really silly I hope theses people will respect our fourm (our = edugeek tech guys ) I know we do have people who work for companys on here ie smoothwall promethien ect but they dont sell they seem to help and give support.

Just as a hint for injet we have got the same problem but have bought one and a ciss kit as well and is the best investment ever. £5 per fill of ink and each fill has the same as 10 normal cartridges. I was that impressed i bought one for at home. Epsion seem to be the best for ciss systems.

wow you get a bike test at you school as well lucky people lol just kidding welcome and have fun and i cant say much and i cant spell write or do noting else usful on this forum PS yes i know more spelling mistakes lol is all the beer and bbq.

we use the disposable ones and bought a really cool idea from the local collage its called a disposable bbq disposal unit its basicaly a stand when you finish you put the lid on the bbq and drop it into a sealed unit and fill with water with a 4 leter bottle and leave it for about 5 mins and then you tip it into a bag as it cools it down so much you can touch it and handle it. i tend just to bag the whole thing up and empty it out when i get home wash it out and use it again next time we go out.

the only prob i had was with help and support service being removed but sorted that out did post it but cant find it now lol.

i am going for my cisco network engineer but have been doing it for a while and keep putting it off lol but will get there in the end

but surly if you only allow domain admins to join a pc to a domain then they will not get domain access. but i do know ehat you are thinking about. You have two options as far as i can see possably three wireless for laptops use secuarty and dont tell then the code and with wired use mac address resevation for all pcs on the network ( I know its a pain but i know it can be done had to do it in the navy on our network to not allow any ther machines on. 2 invest in a router and place it between sever and network and put mac address filter on it so computers without mac address in table will not get access to server and not get ip allocation. (downside can configure address manually but have to be cleaver and find an empty slot.) spend lots of money on a dhcp mac address filter secuarty software. There is a 4th option but will have to ask the linux boffs i belive you could create a liniux box with a firewall setup in line with server and mac filter so only mac address in linux box can access server much the same as router but cheaper option. I know from experance the cheapest is static ips on all machines but it takes time to set up and not easy or fullproof. but i know it works. You could do it slowtime which is what i had to do in the navy with 450 machines all with reserved ip address but you have to make sure the range does not go outside static range.

It happened to me and as well as being taken overdrawn my bank thought it was good to charge me as well. Its to do with the card system and the way they did it was to do a transacton to say custermer not present and as it was in the eu they company made good on the payment and took funds from my account to the tune of £50 and due to the fact it was only 50 pounds there was no problem but it took me over my overdraft. and here is another fact for you did you know if a check is written for less than 40 pounds the check is automaticly paid and if funds are there it will go through. Test it out if you dont belive me. wright a check into one of you other acount in another bank or into you partners account for about 20-30 pounds and put a totaly randum sign on it and watch it get cashed ?? most banks will espically the big one lloyds is the worst the cashed a cheack of mine i did not even sign as i forgot but it still went through.

I dont know If anyone is in objection but i would like to start a tread (will ask admin first) for great Edugeek recipes to share I know i have a few and to post them would be great. I know i love nothing more than a good BBQ a Good real ale Old perculiar of spitfire are nice. And if you like maranade your steak in it with some honey overnight its really nice.

This is a bit of a fun poll really and am just intrested. As i am sat im my back garden with my laptop and a nice pint of beer after lighting the BBQ with my fingers slightly singed. I thought what do other people prefer. I know i have tried both but must admit I cant ever see myself buying a gas BBQ of comi one. The reason for this is there is no fun is a fake one i dont think and if you are going to use gas may as well put it in the oven. I did once have a gas one ok i will admit it was simpler to light easy to use but the food did not taste the same. I have just bought a bag of wisky barell chips and on the bag it says not to be used with gas BBQs and last time i used these they made the food tast soooo nice. It would be good to know. Sorry if it is silly think it might be the combo of beer and drugs lol.

well i have put my bit in so you only got about £60 to go and good luck with that i hope you make it

I know i someone who found a student trying to use herens boot cd in his pc I did not know what it was untill i had a look. But has got a really good password tools i know some it techs who use it.

we i have been told that the whole room is being done up and we should get some kind of ac in there (befor it was a server room it was a kilm room)

i am in the middle of doing that as we speek

well i used to use avg then i had a problem and switched to mcafee (worst thing i ever did) and am just about to change over to kaspersky seems really good and does not slow pc down to a snale pace.

you've guessed it alonebfg.

my room now as 2 severs a switch rack and no windows noe ventolation and today it got up to 30c in there. no ac eather and two of us work in there.

I am also lookin at building another openfiler as a backup server it will be in a diffrent room locked away and will do the backups every night.

If you re open the document change the printer and then save it It should sort this problem out. The reason it does this is due to the format and what publisher does. It is very good at edge of page stuff but it also controls the printer using its own drivers. This is to help whe you do things like banners posters ect as it try to save paper and set the document up to the printers edge of page settings and if you change the printer it needs to change the settings. Yes it is annoying but it is not disgined to be used in multi printer enviroment.

Ok i dont know where to put this. Like most people I use an rss reader for feeds including this one. One of the biggest things I find is that whatever pc I use it is diffrent IE what feeds i have read and what ones i have not. so I had an idea what about having a rss reader that i can put on my usb mem stick. But i have dont know of any that can do that has anyone got one they use or knows of a good one. I would like it so that when i plug in my mem stick it automaticly starts up.

I have to put a deposit down but i still have some money in my beer fund as i have been off the drink due to drugs (dont get the wrong idea perscribed morphine is leagel) so im going to keep putting my beer money away and get a merc in 3 years lol

The bigest problem i have is the fact we dont buy in bulk we are only a small school and we dont throw thing away unless we have to ie beyond repair laptop are one of the big issues as very hard to get fixed at a reasonabl price and cant upgrade. one of the issues we have is teachers laptops. most of which are comming up to 3 years old and on there last legs. One i switched on yesterday took 15 mins to boot up and log in. With that and trying to log use interactive whitboards is a nightmare. I have told teacher that for a good laptop you need at least 1gb of ram with wb i dont know if this is totaly true but some only have 256mb and really struggle. I did not purchase these but i have said if we buy new ones i want them to be at least compatable to use vista just in case in a year they decide to switch. (talking of vista I have noticed all the education software is starting to switch which if it is anything like befor it start to become non backword compatable)

i have herd about ict direct are they good i had a convo with them earler about somthing else. the thing i dont like is some of the after sales support one company we have used takes a laptop away then returns it 1 month later if i am lucky and by that time i have got another one boke its driving me nuts.
